Letters to editor: PCC should have paid for Rawson

I have a question for you, is the college going to pay to take over this property? I have not heard any thing suggesting that this will be anything other than a giveaway. I think this is not fair to the county residents that they lose a thoroughfare without some compensation.

Our representative in Congress seems to think that the so-called president can do no wrong. Matt Gaetz recently bragged that he had proudly voted for the abysmal Trump-care bill that even sensible Republicans agree is a heartless and indeed senseless exercise in futility, which faces certain rejection by the Senate. He now is boasting about Trump's wonderful budget plans. Make no mistake, neither of these bills is anything but a $200 billion giveaway to the Americans who need it the least, the top two percent of millionaires.

It is important to understand that there is a zero-sum effect in budgeting and money given to the ultra-rich must perforce come from the desperately poor. And this is the view of a congressman from the Northwest Florida farming and blue-collar district. Get the relief pitcher warmed up folks; we need to pull this guy out of the game.
